"When we did all this touring [over the past couple of years], we were so busy that there was no way for us to really put new music together," he said (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). "And the tour was already on sale, so to jump off tour to record an album wouldn't have been the right move. But now that we have all the time going forward, I think promoters and agents and managers are all, like, 'All right, you gotta have something, a driver for the next tour. You can't just go out and do the same thing. So there's either gotta be some incredible package you put together or new music.'"
"So, I've been working real hard on trying to put together new ideas so I can get together with [singer] Scott [Stapp] and start working. But, it would probably have to be the middle of next year before we start doing that."
"The topic of new Creed songs has come up frequently since the band reunited, with Tremonti telling Vanyaland in 2024 that he has "literally thousands" of riffs stockpiled. In a separate chat with Guitar Interactive around that same time, Tremonti noted that "it'd be good to try to get back to that original sound a little more" when Creed does work on new music, as compared to 2009's Full Circle, their last album."
Creed reunited in 2023 but has not released new material since 2009's Full Circle. Extensive touring over the past years prevented the band from recording new songs while tours were on sale. Promoters, agents, and managers expect a new driver for upcoming tours, either a compelling package or fresh music. Mark Tremonti is assembling new ideas and hopes to begin collaborating with Scott Stapp around mid-next year. Tremonti reports having "literally thousands" of riffs and expresses interest in returning closer to the band’s original sound. Tremonti and Stapp have remained creatively active in other projects during the interim.
